Let me be clear, not everyone struggling with the #IrishHousingCrisis riots, but it is likely one of the fault lines used by #FarRight agitators to trigger violence especially when tied to #migration pressures

A lot of responsibility for ensuring equity in the classroom falls very unfairly on the shoulders of teachers who are undertrained, overworked, underpaid, and overstressed - to say nothing of completely lacking in systemic resources.
I see posts of all kinds calling for teachers to make their spaces and lessons more inclusive, but these calls often come without a focus on what ACTUALLY needs to change - systemtic problems at the heart of our education system, and therefor our society.
